November 15, 2022 Festive Feather Dresses
We’ve reached that point in the year where all we can think about are holiday outfits, like feather dresses. The holidays provide a special opportunity to dress a little over the top, and for fashion lovers like us, that makes shopping in our stores extra exciting.
Glitter, sequins, and feathers are the eye-catching details we look for when browsing the racks. In secondhand fashion shops like ours, the racks being filled with vintage, contemporary, and designer pieces mean there are so many treasures to be found!
Take a look below at some of the feather dresses that are inspiring us this season. We love how even just a hint of feathers at a hemline takes a dress to the next level. Don’t be afraid to add feathered accessories too.
Are you busy dreaming of a calendar full of holiday events too? We want to see your festive party looks! If you find a holiday outfit in one of our stores, please share it on Instagram and tag us @crossroadstrading. You may find it featured on our brand feed.
Let’s make a toast to the holiday (fashion) season!

November 3, 2022 Secondhand Holiday Fashion Ideas
Yes, it’s finally November, and we have holiday fashion on our minds! Even better, we’re on the hunt for secondhand holiday fashion, and there’s no better place to start looking than in our stores across the country.
Admittedly, every time this year, we find ourselves searching for the same types of fashion items. We always shop for shiny, shimmery, and decadent holiday fashion pieces. The more stand-out the piece, then the more we like it!
For dresses, jumpsuits, shirts, and pants, we look for silky fabrics in rich tones like burgundy, emerald green, and purple. Textures like brocade and leather are on our list too.
For accessories, we look for metallic colors and gemstone details. We can’t get enough of glitter and glamour, and finding vintage holiday pieces is like striking gold.
Take a look at some of the secondhand holiday fashion pieces that have come through our stores. You may find they’re just perfect for your upcoming holiday event calendar.
If you’re ready to start holiday shopping too, bring in your gently-used clothes to sell, and you may receive cash or store credit towards your new holiday fashion purchases. Plus, follow us on Instagram to see the latest pieces coming into our stores.
November 1, 2022 Make Money with Sell by Mail Clothes
With the holidays on the horizon, now is the time to consider making money with Sell by Mail clothes. These are pre-loved but excellent condition clothes that no longer fit your style or wardrobe needs.
The way we see it, this is like money taking up space in your closet! Plus, by selling them in any of our stores or by mail, you can get them into the hands of new owners who find them valuable thrifted treasures. This keeps your unused clothing out of landfill and circulating in a more sustainable fashion system.
So you have Sell by Mail clothes on hand and ready to show a buyer. What comes next? Here is how the process works at Crossroads:
If you think you might have clothes to sell by mail, start by looking at our online seasonal selling guide, where we highlight the current trends we’re looking for. Then, search your closet for gently used items that fit the bill. If you find them, request a bag from our website and get ready to fill it with your sell by mail clothes.
You’ll have several options when ordering your bag with pre-paid shipping. First, you can request the unpurchased items be donated or sent back to you for a return fee. Second, you can select cash or store credit.
Happy selling!
